In a dilapidated studio apartment in a run-down part of Bucharest, single mother of three Emilia remembers the despondency she felt when she first fell pregnant at the age of 15.
“I knew my future was over,” she says.
Now 20, Emilia is one of thousands of young Romanian women and girls for whom poverty and lack of access to health education have resulted in teenage pregnancies.
